南京虫がいます。
従業員の方々の対応は丁寧でした。しかし部屋はゴミが多くベットの下は埃だらけです。そして夜寝ていると枕元を歩く虫の姿が。まさかと思いネットで調べると、様々なサイトを見ましたが南京虫でした。 翌朝よくよく調べると壁についているカードの隙間等にたくさんの南京虫が隠れていました。また壁には南京虫を潰したと思われる赤い跡や虫の死骸が無数にあります。

Goed verblijf
De dorm is prima, niet heel groot maar comfortabel genoeg. In het weekend is er best veel lawaai en heb je oordopjes nodig om te slapen. Badkamer voorzieningen zijn opzich ook prima. Locatie is heel goed. Midden in China town en een paar minuten lopen van de flea market en Central market. Toeristisch maar alles lekker dichtbij. Ben hier al meerdere malen geweest, mede dankzij het behulpzame personeel.

Great budget accommodation
Basic accommodation. We stayed in a double private. Tv has no English channels, only 1 bathroom/shower for men and one for women, the shower it great with hot water, lots of space and with different pressure-settings. Around the corner from the night market, free buss that takes you around the city and the subway. Helpful staff!!

Good enough
Location is good. 1km to the beach and many shops arond there. About room, airconditioner doesnt work so much. They should have fan to solve this problem. Wifi is limited only at front, but it was great speed. Food at this hostel was cheaper than the outside restaurant and was good taste, though they serve so late. And we can rental bike with 5$ per day In total, it was good enough.

Great value for a low price
I do not have any complaints- our stay went well. Additionally I would like to praise the staff as we went to the wrong branch of the hostel but we was offered the room to stay there. Also we got a few helpful tips and warm welcoming attitude from both staff members! (by the way- one bad thing- the toilets are so small that you can hardly sit on it :))

短暂停留,印象深刻,酒店老板Max非常非常Nice,还记得一大早我们要赶早班车去马六甲,他怕我们两个女孩子走在早晨的街上不安全,亲自把我们送到了车站,帮我们买好到马六甲的车票才回去,同时还帮我们准备好了两张地铁卡,让我们在往返坐地铁的时候省去了排队买票的麻烦,真的让人非常非常感动。

Two day trip to Kuala Lumpur with my girlfriend. Nice and clean hostel just around the corner of Chinatown and Pasar Seni station. Easy to move around in the city by MRT. Good wifi, free drinking water and coffee and tea. Nice staff. Bit noisy because of the construction on the street.

5 dias em KL
Atendeu muito bem aos propósitos, perto da estação de trem para batu caves, perto do ponto de ônibus para o aeroporto, do mercado central e do ônibus go Kl que é gratuito e permite acesso, entre outras coisas, às Petronas towers. O quarto que ficamos era pequeno, mas suficiente, e não tinha janela.

Sell my room booked to other pp. cause paid more!
I want to aware other travelers about how unprofessional this hotel is. I booked in the nice Chinatown submarine and said that will be a late check in for my flight. I arrived there at 10 p.m. and the have already sold my room to other person who paid higher rate. What? So they sent me to other submarine hostel, close by, in central market. A horrible place, nothing in common with the one I booked, and they charged me same rate.the building is terrible dirty, toilets tiny and next to the desk of reception with a plastic curtain as a door. I think that they promote submarine chinatown in the websites because is nicer and newer, and once they filled it they don't aware guest they just wait to you be there to tell you they are over booked but "don't worry we have another hostel just few streets from here". Very disappointed. I staid that night and run away.
